I've spent some much time in a terminal the last week I'm starting to Ctrl+x anytime I want to save anything lol. Even illustrator files at work lol.

Heheh on Linux when you think you found the answer you copy paste, log out and back in. Sometimes reboot if it don’t with try the next copy and paste.. so many memories
It’s funny cuz it’s true
The real question is which buffer are you using? Team middle-click ftw.
Just be careful with those two letter shell commands like rm and dd. But if you don't, you will become proficient in reinstalling Linux.
This makes me laugh so much. After years of using Linux, it’s still true for me to an extent.
I'm a Linux system admin, I literally do this for a living, and I usually feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
I know all the commands now if you learn them you never have to copy and paste again much faster. And then just lookup the docs on whatever application your using very easy to learn other functions and features as well.
Yeah, this is the case if you're a heavy terminal user. However, for a lot of people this is no longer necessary.
For a lot of people where just stock #gnome or #kde is good enough, and you use the software store app to install applications, you rarely have to touch the terminal and as such don't have to know the commands.
That being said, as a heavy #neovim and #emacs user, the power provided by actually knowing the commands is something that I could not do without.
I live in the terminal all day every day. And I still copy paste. It's generally way easier and less typo prone than typing everything
I do a lot of copying and pasting as well, but what works very well as well is hitting control+r. When I found that out it sped up my workflow by quite a bit.

You'll learn when you do more of those
Honestly this is good enough for most people. Some may say you risk fucking up the os/computer but windows guides carry the same risk.
I'm sad because this is true.
Also, man -k is a lost, dark art.

Lol yep.
Yeah I'm wildly careless about copying and pasting stuff beginning with "sudo ...". No harm yet, though I do wonder what this process called "totallynotabitcoinminer" is and why my pc has slowed to a crawl.

It's the main reason mainly programmers use it, not because of the openess, because they learnt to Google there problems
